This recent news article once again shows, in my opinion, the incompetence that the Trump administration has. Trump's interior secretary Ryan Zinke told his staff that diversity isn't important. He has also been reported to have said “I don’t care about diversity” and “I don’t really think that’s important anymore”. These reports come in as Zinke faces investigation by multiple agencies, including the Interior Department’s inspector general and Office of Special Counsel, over allegations of inappropriate employee reassignment and taxpayer spending on private planes. People in different agencies have said he has not done enough to regard attention for women and minorities. Another example that might hint at his midly racist and insensitive comments is earlier this month, his response to a congresswoman’s story about her grandfathers’ detention in Japanese internment camps during the Second World War was inappropriate. After listening to Hawaii Representative Colleen Hanabusa speak, Mr Zinke responded with a cheery “konnichiwa”, the Japanese word for “good day”.
